“We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! Marilyn is reliable, kind, and treats our pup like family. Our dog is always happy when he arrives to her home. She is constantly sending updates and pictures where our pup looks like he’s having an amazing time. Highly recommend!”



“David is great with our 2 rowdy dogs; he really connects with them and recognizes each one’s individual quirks and needs. They’ve stayed with David twice and we will definitely contact him again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“My two dogs have stayed with David many times and he continues to be great! The dogs get start bouncing around and wagging their tails when we turn on his street because they're excited to stay there again. They always come home tired from days of playing. David is great about communicating, too!”


“Amanda was the best dog sitter we could have asked for. We especially appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us, which made us feel at ease and happy. She has a beautiful home with plenty of room and backyard space, and our dogs felt right at home with her:-) This is our first experience with Rover, and feel super confident that if all sitters are half as wonderful as Amanda, we’ll be using this service more often! Thanks so much for taking care of our babies while we hiked around Mt Rainier!!:-)”

“Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our little Reuben! She had great communication and we received photos and updates every day. It looked like he was having a great time! She has a nice fenced backyard for Reuben to sniff around in, which is very important to us. She has a lovely family, and they were very kind and playful with our little guy. You can tell they really care for animals. Would definitely recommend!”

“We are so grateful that we found such an amazing family to love on our Daisy Belle while we are away. Daisy has extreme stranger anxiety, and they took good care of her despite the challenges she has. She came back home happy and content and we could tell she had a good stay. Highly recommend!”


“Titan had a fantastic time with Teri! I was so nervous to leave my old, quirky pup when I left the country but that fear quickly went away when I met Teri and throughout Titan’s stay. He loved her backyard and all the attention he got and was very comfortable there and will definitely be a repeat visitor when I need a doggy sitter!”

“Camila & Lino were great caretakers of our guy Bruce, a Siberian Husky. This was his first time away from us in a new space and Camila & Lino were prompt and empathetic in addressing our questions and concerns. They were also conscientious about our guys quirks and managed his interactions with the others. Bruce seemed well and relaxed when home. Great experience!”


“Kathryn was fantastic. Did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit for my dog who’s scared of the world. Gave me plenty of updates and took fantastic care of Chewie.”

She was very communicative and sent me pictures and always kept me up-to-date on how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again the next time I am in Durham.”


“My dog, Carl, had a great stay with De’Erricka. We scheduled a “meet and greet” prior to the sit and Carl immediately seemed to be comfortable with her and her home. I sent her instructions a day or two prior to his stay and made myself available for any questions, since Carl requires medication twice a day. De’Erricka was very responsive to my texts both before and during the sit. I would also requests pictures when I was missing Carl when traveling, and she sent them over right away.
